Family reunions are a fun time. But next time instead of just meeting up at home, why not organize a special reunion at Disneyland? Make your next reunion one that the whole family will talk about at get-togethers in the future. It is really easier than you might think to arrange this!

You can use Disneyland Vacation Planning Services Department to assist you to get everything organized. They can help you book rooms at the Resort hotels, and get admission tickets to the park. You should be able to get discounts on the tickets by purchasing them in bulk.

Disneyland has a ‘Happiest Place on Earth Picnic’ which is perfect for accommodating large groups. This service is offered year round, and includes admission to the park for your entire party. You also get a choice of fully catered meals for the event.

If you’re planning a large gathering, say 100 – 300 people, your event can be held at Big Thunder Ranch. For 300 – 1000 people, the event will be held at the Festival Arena.

If there are less than 100 people in your party, you may not be eligible for the catering services. This is at the sole discretion of Disneyland, and you will need to discuss this with Guest Services or the Planning Services Departments. If catering is not available, reservations in the many restaurants can be made instead.

You may be able to get a discount on your family member’s rooms at the Resorts as well, if you book well in advance, hold your event during the off-season, and book a block of rooms. Airline tickets for those who will need to fly to Disneyland should also be purchased well in advance, and in bulk for additional discounts.

Again, use Disneyland Vacation Planning Services to help you with the arrangements, and a travel agent to handle any arrangements that planning services doesn’t cover. For best results, choose one family member to work with the planning services and the travel agent, and relay information back and forth between the services and the family members. Having one person collecting and sharing information will cut down on a great deal of confusion and misinformation when you are trying to make travel arrangements for a large number of people.

It may take work and planning, but in the end, this will be one family reunion that will never be forgotten. Talk with the Vacation Planning Services Department to find out what other services are available to make this an even more special experience for you and your family members. Perhaps you could organize a Surprise through Surprise services – it would be a nice touch!
